Removing Sidemarker to paint it!

Okay I STFF and I couldn't find any instructions on removing the sidemarker. I want to remove it to paint it, but I wanna know how it's in tact before trying to pry it off. I know there are a few ppl that have gotten it done, so please enlighten us!

There are 4 clips on each side of the wheel well. 3 along the wheel well and 1 under the car. Remove them both the pin and clip, Pull back the wheel well and you will see your side maker, then pop it off

okay so I just removed the side markers today to paint them. As you can see from the picture, the side marker is held in by a triangular clip. easiet way is to remove the 3 clips holding the wheel wall then un-clipping the sidemarker.
